That means if I want to listen to a 128k stream 8 hours a day for a month, I would need to donate $120/month??? How far off am I?

How many users will be accessing the stream?
I estimate we would have 200-500 at all times.

On average, how long do users listen to a stream?
1 Hour on Live365

How much does a GB of traffic cost?
I do not pay for bandwidth used. I pay for the capacity of listeners at a given bitrate.

1 Listener costs $3.00 per month at 128k.

200 Listener Capacity @ 128k = $600/mo._________________"Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?." -Maximus

Oh, wow. I was *way* off. That looks more doable.

Great site. Thanks for taking the time to run it!

That brings up another interesting question. What about royalties. People donate their CD's yet do you still have to pay royalties? What does that cost?_________________-Wookie

Yes we have to pay royalties on non-Live365 streams regardless of the source of the CD. Why do you want to know?_________________"Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?." -Maximus
